Reminder: GGF NOMCOM 2005 Call for Volunteers
by Stacey Giannese 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

GGF NOMCOM 2005 Call for Volunteers The GGF Nominations Committee 2005 needs your help! We seek volunteers for NomCom 2005, the GGF nominating committee responsible for recommending candidates to fill positions on the Grid Forum Steering Group (GFSG) of members whose terms are expiring. Typically, one third of the GFSG is selected each year. It is possible that the NomCom will have to fill more or fewer slots than this, due to the creation or elimination of positions by the GFSG, or by resignations, transfers, etc. GFSG members whose terms are up are: Peter Clarke, Area Director DATA; Cees De Laat, Area Director Peer-to-Peer; Bill Nitzberg, Area Director Scheduling and Resource Management; Ken Klingenstein, Director At Large; Dennis Gannon, Director At Large. The nominating process is modeled after IETF RFC 3777, "IAB and IESG Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process: Operation of the Nominating and Recall Committees". IETF RFC 3777 supersedes IETF RFC 2727. The GGF GFSG adopted IETF RFC2727, with minor revisions, in 2003. The first phase in the process is to establish this year's nominating committee, and that is being done by this year's NomCom Chair, Dietmar Erwin, along with Beth Plale, past Chair, and David Martin, GFSG liaison. The 2005 nominating committee selection process is outlined below (see #1 below). To qualify as a volunteer, a person must have attended 2 of the last 4 GGF meetings. NomCom members are barred from nomination during the year they serve, even if they later resign. Responsibilities and expected time commitment are outlined below (see #2 below), as are the confidentiality needs (see #3 below). Community members who feel they meet these requirements and are interested in helping are encouraged to volunteer. Please e-mail your name, affiliation, telephone number(s), and email address to Dietmar Erwin, d.erwin(a)fz-juelich.de not later than Saturday December 4, 2004 (midnight UTC). Please put "NomCom volunteer" in the subject line. Volunteering for the NomCom is a way in which you can serve the GGF community. We encourage you to help! Best regards, Dietmar Erwin, d.erwin(a)fz-juelich.de, Chair (non-voting member) Beth Plale, past Chair (non-voting member) David Martin, GFSG liaison (non-voting member) NOMCOM Details 1. Nominating Committee Selection Process The call for volunteers will be open for approximately 30 days. To qualify as a volunteer, a person must have attended 2 of the last 4 GGF meetings. Note that this deviates from the 3 out of 5 rule in RFC3777. For the NomCom to work as it should, the pool of volunteers from which members are chosen must be as large as possible. The more people who volunteer, the better the chance of obtaining a random yet representative cross section of the GGF population. Once the call for volunteers closes, the list of volunteers will be posted to http://www.ggf.org/nomcom/index.html. The GGF secretariat will then verify the eligibility of each volunteer (i.e., attended at least 2 of the last 4 GGFs). The selection process will be held the week of December 6, 2004 and the results announced the week of December 13, 2004. Ten (10) NomCom voting members will be chosen at random from the pool of volunteers in accordance with RFC 2777, "Publicly Verifiable Nomcom Random Selection". The random number seed used in the selection software (available upon request) will be the sum of the ordered concatenation of the winning numbers from the drawing of the German National Lotto on Saturday, December 11, 2004. The winning numbers are posted at: <http://www.lotto.de> If an insufficient number of people volunteer, an extension will be announced and new dates for the lottery draw will be posted to the NomCom site. 2. Time Commitment and Responsibilities of NomCom Members ------------------------------------------------------------------------- A volunteer should be able to commit 2-3 hours per week for approximately 9 months. The task involves the following activities: - Read candidate statements - Participate in weekly 1-2 hour conference call. - Attend GGF meetings held during selection process. - Conduct interviews with candidates - Speak to GGF participants about potential candidates, the job requirements or the process. 3. Confidentiality ----------------------------------------------------------------------- All NomCom deliberations and supporting information that relates to specific nominees, candidates, and confirmed candidates remain confidential. The NomCom members will be exposed to confidential information as a result of their deliberations, their interactions with those they consult, and from those who provide requested supporting information. All members are expected to handle this information in a manner consistent with its sensitivity.
